Magnetoelectric microcomposites are of interest for novel sensor application. We combine magneto-optic Kerr effect microscopy and nanofocus X-ray diffraction to map the local properties of ZnO microrods coated with an amorphous (Fe₉₀Co₁₀)₇₈Si₁₂B₁₀ layer. We follow the magnetic domain behavior and lattice deformation upon applying an external magnetic field. In addition to the expected field induced strain, we observe a local magnetic induced strain in the 10⁻⁵ range in the ZnO localized near the (Fe₉₀Co₁₀)₇₈Si₁₂B₁₀ /ZnO interface ¹.
